          REPIK

Thomas L. Repik, age 72 of Lowell passed away October 25,2024 at his home 
surrounded by love. He was born on January 22, 1952 to Edward and Donna Repik in 
Ionia,MI. He attended Saints Peter & Paul Catholic Academy through 8th grade and 
then Ionia High School where he met his future wife, Sue Ann Kilduff.

Upon graduation he entered the workforce and found his way into the electrical  
trade where he became a journeyman lineman. IT was a job that he loved and was 
very skilled at. He worked all over the country bringing and restoring power to 
those who needed it.He made good friends and was a mentor to countless other 
linemen during his more than 40 years of service in the trade.

The one thing he loved more than being a lineman was his family. Though he was 
never known to be overly affectionate man there was never any question how much 
he loved his wife and daughters, and later his sons-in-law, and grandsons. we 
always knew if we ever needed help in any way he would be there.He never got too 
worked up about anything but had his own way of letting us know when we did 
something less than impressive in his mind with his famous "what would make you 
think that was a good idea" quote that he would recite in a low calm voice.

The only ones he spoiled more than his daughters were his grandsons! In one of 
his final acts of love he made sure they both got their own Harley Davison to 
ride so they could share in their Papa's love of Harley Motorcycles even though 
mom and dad said No!

Tom is survived by his daughters and sons-in-law Kate & Jason Hardy and Kelly & 
Karl Pendleton. His grandsons Carson & Caiden Hardy.His sisters Karen (Butch) 
Perry, Marcia(Rick)Kilduff, Liane Wood, Carol(John) Hummel, Connie Repik, and 
many nieces & nephews.He also left behind two very dear friends who were with 
him until the end. His special friend Maggie Balice, and his best friend Matthew 
(Ernie) Gould. Tom was preceded in death by his wife of 43 years, Sue Ann Repik, 
his infant son Jason Repik, his parents Edward and Donna Repik and brother Terry 
Repik.

Cremation has taken place and there will be a Celebration of Tom's life at his 
home at a later date.
